I grew up with the space shuttle - I remember the first mission like it was yesterday, I was in secondary school and we all got to miss an English lesson to watch the lift off. And I remember the explosions, the images are clear in my mind. And I remember Sally Ride being the first woman in space. How a woman could become an astronaut before a speccy teenager from the Midlands I don't know. Sod you, NASA.
